iOS 14.7 Features: Everything New in iOS 14.7

Pegasus Bugfix? Seems like Apple has a secret agreement with the FBI. Apple won‘t fix Pegasus and the FBI stops asking for a Backdoor?

I hear the Apple Fans crying „Oh no, Apple can not fix this bug - it is complicated!!!“

Well Apple, two quick fixes:
1) Let the users uninstall the Messages app and allow 3rd party vendors to offer SMS apps. Messages is so full of bugs and this is caused by tons of features. Messages is beyond repair.
2) Ask the user if he/she wants to accept a message from an unknown sender - BEFORE anything else happens.

That’s it? Basically yes, it is simple as that. Like you should never download content from an unknown eMail, nobody should touch an SMS with unknown origin. Messagers like Signal follow this rule.

Same. It updated on my iPhone, but my iPad Air still says 14.6 is the latest version. Even when hooking up to my Mac and trying to update it from there, it still says 14.6 is the latest version.

This could the answer to anyone who want to know if they fixit the security issues:
1) iPad is not involved because spies care just about cellphones
2) N.1 is not true but Apple wants to give us a safe feeling patching immediately something
3) Apple patched what needed to be fixed
Cross fingers for n.3 because if we are not in trouble now we could become a target in a near present/future

I don’t care about any new anything, my connectivity has been terrible with 14.6, I hope this is FIXED.

ALSO, w/iOS 14.6, Apple Music has been playing the first track in my library when I hook up in the car ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME. Why Apple can’t do simple things like EVERY OTHER MUSIC APP and remember where I was at, what I was playing is far far beyond ridiculous 6 years in!! 😡🙄😡🙄😡🙄

Exactly. Nobody here actually uses iMessage. Why can’t we remove the function?

What are the bugs in Messages? I've never encountered one. Can you give me a step-by-step guide, I am curious?

I think he was talking about the SMS app, not iMessages per se. Me and my whole family use iMessages, moreover it is the only non-chinese messaging app not blocked by China, which spares me the need to use VPN for basic communication with the family.

On 13.7, but I feel like I should wait on 14.7.1.

I didn’t used to say this, but, if 13.7 is working well for you, don’t bother with iOS 14…from what I remember, what you’re using was one of the best running OS Apple has made. iOS 14 has not been bug free for me, and maybe 14.4.something was working pretty well, but, 14.6 at least, I’ve had WiFi, Bluetooth, AirPlay connectivity issues, not major, but dropping WiFi or AP or having to close an app and reopen to connect to BT device, etc., just enough to be annoying…apps don’t multitask well, (memory issues), Apple Music was finally remembering where I left off most of the time, now it’s back to playing the first track in my library nearly every time, etc.

Take surveillance out at the app level and they (big brother) will just push their code server side

Yes, podcasts have become so un-workable that I have switched to Android, despite years of loyalty to all the Apple OS platforms. The entire iOS system arose due to audio. I would rather use my iDevices exclusively.
 
I'm hoping this fixes the Apple Music bug of music stopping after 15 seconds. They say it did, and I haven't had many issues with it lately, but it was incredibly annoying. I also don't want to go to Spotify so hopefully it is fixed and I'm happy with it in the next couple of weeks.
